==About Atlassian==

Atlassian is a software company in Sydney, Australia which makes products for software developers - including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confluence_(software) Confluence] (a wiki), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subversion_(software) Subversion] for revision control, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JIRA JIRA] for issue and bug tracking, [http://www.atlassian.com/software/greenhopper/ GreenHopper] for agile software planning and management, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_(software) Bamboo] for continuous integration, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucible_(software) Crucible] for code review and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FishEye_(software) FishEye] for source code repository browsing - all of which are included in the '''[http://www.atlassian.com/hosted/studio/ JIRA Studio]''' package.

==About Confluence==

Atlassian's Confluenceis a powerful and quite popular wiki. The cost of confluence depends on the number of user - ~$3,300 (USD) for 100 users and up to ~$18,000 for >20,000 users ([http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/pricing.jsp see pricing table]). While it's disadvantage is that it's not free (like MediaWiki), confluence does has many nifty advantages/features including:

* Ability to create groups / spaces and to set permissions of each page ''(different from MediaWiki where every page is public)''
* A nifty WYSIWYG ''(what you see is what you get)'' interface ''(an alternative to wiki markup, although sometimes buggy)''
* Lots of online documentation, videos and support
* The ability to link/embed Microsoft Office documents (and a few other document types) using "SharePoint Connector"
* Many macros to add such elements as charts / comments / RSS feeds / lists of people etc
* Drag-and-drop functionality (from desktop into browser).
* Auto-complete for images/macros/links ''([watch video tutorial])''.
* Page version history ''(similar to MediaWiki)''

To learn a little more about these features watch the [http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/videos/overview.jsp Confluence overview video].

==Video Tutorials==

Here I've listed some videos I've found useful. For more videos go to [http://www.youtube.com/user/GoAtlassian Atlassian's youtube channel].

* [http://www.youtube.com/user/GoAtlassian#p/search/37/q0FVJ4nMIcQ Adding a banner to Confluence] - looks easy, but haven't tested yet - I'm hoping to put the whole "confluence" in a frame/table such that you can go the "wiki" section of a project site, but it still have the same banner and "look" as the rest of the site.
* [http://www.youtube.com/user/GoAtlassian#p/search/3/35M2zGWZ2Fc Using Confluence's autocomplete]
* [https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/CGAP/Analytics+Plugin Confluence's Google Analytics Plugin] - don't fully understand yet but I definitely would love to start using "[http://www.google.com/analytics/index.html Google Analytics]" - it looks brilliant.

==Links==

		+	The "[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Discussion Discussion]" extension is one I haven't used, but looks great if you want to put an "add comments" area to any page. Another one I noticed was "[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LiquidThreads Liquid Threads]", but this looked a bit bulky - more like a forum interface than comments area.

-	I made this page late August 2010 to assist in finding a new roommate.

Applicants gave very good feedback on the video ''(it gave them a virtual tour of the whole unit before the real tour)'', but in the end I wasn't actually given much time to search! Fortunately the first person to reply (even before I made my video) was great and ended up picking him 13 days after my roommate posted the first ad. I've left this page up '''(a)''' as a reference and '''(b)''' because my new roommate can (sadly) only sign for 6 months - meaning in March 2011 I'll probably be doing all this again!

-	There are a lot of misconceptions in US about what words Australian's use and vice versa. We do use words like "mate", "g'day", "barbie (as in barbeque)", "snag (as in sausage)" and "no worries" pretty frequently in Australia, but unless you go way out bush you're unlikely to hear words like "cobber", "sheila" and "struth" very often. And yes, only the Crocodile Hunter used "Crikey"! The majority of words you find in any "Australian slang dictionary" are old fashioned words we don't use much anymore - which is a pity, but you have to understand a smaller and smaller percentage of Australian's live in the "outback" these days - most instead living in cities and so if you want the "real Australia", where you will hear colorful words like "blue" you'll have to drive inland to a small town!	+	There are a lot of misconceptions in States about what words Australian's use and vice versa.
